I'll be playing in the 1000euro event in Cork this weekend, flying back on Sunday, so it'll be touch and go whether I'm back in time for the Sunday tournament. I'll be able to play in all the others though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenner Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Re: Betfair 12 Plays of Christmas - Event 1 Team Reindeer I would like to be in a team but cant play on the 3rd 10th or 14th but would still enter these 3 so the team would pick up points (probably more as a sit out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The points system is interesting - advancing from 150th to 149th is worth the same as advancing from 5th to 4th ....... definitely an advantage here for low risk TAG players......

I propose 2 teams of 4 based on BPP rankings....so.... Team A GaF Fenner BurnleyJoe Dave488 Team B Newbie RJILLA Kevshat H-Bomb I don't think Team A is necesarrily stronger than Team B - it's just people who get to regularly play focus games and those who don't :ok Does this work for everyone?

philossify Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: Betfair 12 Plays of Christmas - Event 1 Team Reindeer Only just seen this. I'm up to have a go if anyone drops out or if there are enough people to commit for a team C. Can make all 9 I think , though I may be a bit late and relaxed on the 17th Dec as its an all day pub crawl. Was also wandering whether competing in these games counts towards qualification for the Snowball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave488 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: Betfair 12 Plays of Christmas - Event 1 Team Reindeer Good point philossify, as far I can see you meet all the criteria for the Snowball by playing in this, thats even better value then.

I'm pretty certain Betfair have never allowed Americans in..... If you cannot get in, we'll give your spot to Philossify. Or hopefully he'll get some interest for a team C. Team B needs to have a "captain". I hope noone in Team A minds me being self nominated captain .... don't think it means anything other than to do the admin :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: Betfair 12 Plays of Christmas - Event 1 Team Reindeer Any thoughts on tactics for this? I think the scoring system strongly encourages tight passive - Harrington is out of the window ..... forgetting the individual prizes and only thinking of the team - winning is a lot less important than surviving every place that you can ..... so the usual strategy of shoving when short stacked probably isn't applicable in this..... To give an example .... Imagine 2 teams and 100 entrants..... Team A gets 1st, 2nd, 99th and 100th Team B all sitout and get 41st, 42nd, 43rd and 44th Team B easily beats Team A ....... It's critical that no team members go out in the first 30 or 40 ...... People agree/disagree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave488 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: Betfair 12 Plays of Christmas - Event 1 Team Reindeer Yes totally, its definately scored for the people who consistently do well rather than the people who take risks early to get chips and either win it or go out early.
